PTH induces bone loss via microbial-dependent expansion of intestinal TNF+ T cells and Th17 cells
Bone loss is a frequent but not universal complication of hyperparathyroidism. Using antibiotic-treated or germ-free mice, we show that parathyroid hormone (PTH) only caused bone loss in mice whose microbiota was enriched by the Th17 cell-inducing taxa ...

Th17 cells in autoimmune arthritis [PDF]
The role of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of human autoimmune diseases is elusive. To gain insights into the role of Th17 cells in human autoimmune diseases, the authors analysed Th17 cells in patients with prototypic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Protection against collagen-induced arthritis in mice afforded by the parasitic worm product, ES-62, is associated with restoration of the levels of IL-10-producing B cells and reduced plasma cell infiltration of the joints [PDF]
We have previously reported that ES-62, a molecule secreted by the parasitic filarial nematode Acanthocheilonema viteae, protects mice from developing collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).

Sox5 and Th17 cell differentiation
Sox (SRY-related high-mobility-group (HMG)-box) transcription factors, which are comprised of 20 genes containing a conserved HMG DNA-binding domain, are divided into 8 groups (from A to H) according to structural homologies [reviewed in 1–2]. SoxC group, which is composed of Sox4, Sox11, and Sox12, has a HMG box domain and a transactivation domain and

Serum Amyloid A Proteins Induce Pathogenic TH17 Cells and Promote Inflammatory Disease
Lymphoid cells that produce IL-17 cytokines protect barrier tissues from pathogenic microbes, but are also prominent effectors of inflammation and autoimmune disease.

Th17 cell responses in spondyloarthritis
Targeting IL-17 has become an important option in the current treatment of spondyloarthritis (SpA). To place this therapeutic advancement in context, we review the discovery and properties of this cytokine, noting those which predispose to inflammation and led to it being considered as an attractive target for the treatment of arthritis, especially SpA.

Th17 cells and HIV infection [PDF]
This review summarizes the recent literature about the potential perturbation and role of Th17 cells in HIV pathogenesis. We discuss the recent findings on Th17 deficiency in HIV/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection and how this deficiency may impact the mucosal host defenses, potentially contributing to chronic immune activation.Th17 cells ...

Visualization and phenotyping of proinflammatory antigen-specific T cells during collagen-induced arthritis in a mouse with a fixed collagen type II-specific transgenic T-cell receptor beta-chain [PDF]
Introduction: The Vbeta12-transgenic mouse was previously generated to investigate the role of antigen-specific T cells in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. This mouse expresses a transgenic collagen type II (CII)
